Each machine with an installation of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server requires an authorization file. There are several ways to register GeoEvent Server. You can visit My Esri to obtain an authorization file (by email, fax, phone, or mail) before proceeding with the installation. You can also register GeoEvent Server using the GeoEvent Server Software Authorization Wizard that opens after the setup installation completes (this is the recommended method).
Registration requires registration numbers similar in format to ABC123456789. Visit My Esri for more information.
